The Decanted portfolio - episode 14 bis

Sponsor: Pantarai ADAPT (ticker: ADPT)Bastien reviews a fancy Cote de Gascoigne, to sweeten the pill after a harsh closing of the week in markets on the back of some collapse of silver and other metals.

Disclaimers apply.

This week metal prices went ballistic, with gold on a rollercoaster.

This week's episode of the Decanted portfolio (#14) looks at why gold has surged and what's up with hot money flows, but also brings us to Hungary where Tokaj is a stellar sweet wine region.

This is what we discussed this week on social media, on the back of the very volatile gold action:The big question is “why” exactly gold did sell off so much so fast after a crazy ride?

Sure, too much hot money has gone into gold too fast lately.

Negative sentiment on tech stocks and precisely Microsoft earning results with subsequent sell-off were the trigger.

But why would the latest marginal buyers of gold (buying high) would run away so fast in panic because of a tech sell-off on the back of good earnings overall? Is it the undisciplined retail flows chasing easy money (in gold) and suddenly regretting it? 🤔

And more subtly, who bought back steadily after?

Nervous markets, late cycle, expensive, in the middle of the USD debasement trade. Hard to imagine what can happen next.

We are at the end of a bombastic week in Davos, after an inspiring speech from Marc Carney, an mockery of President Trump to the Europeans (which end up having MUCH more leverage than expected to push back) and a crazy market ride in the week - with risk assets tanking and then recovering, bonds disappointing as a hedge and commodities defending instead. With Switzerland on the center stage, we'll discuss about Swiss wines, Swiss gran crus, Swiss grapes and also the beautiful wines (similar in nature) done on the other side of the border in France, in the region of Savoie.

Today we discuss about how the current geopolitical mess is strangely not moving markets, with the exception of an ongoing (persistent) rally in precious metals as investors keep looking for safety.

Leaving safe harbors and adventuring in different wine regions on the planet, we explore a 27km strip of land in Australia named Coonawarra where monumental cabernet sauvignons are made in red soils.
